Chapter 2 Basic MSFC Software Configuration

Configuring the MSFC2

Step 5 Enter the enable password when prompted to do so:

The enable password is used when there is no enable secret and when using older software and some boot images.

Enter enable password: wilma

For future use, make a note of this password.

The commands available at the user EXEC level are a subset of those available at the privileged EXEC level. Because many privileged EXEC commands are used to establish system parameters, you should password protect these commands to prevent their unauthorized use.

The enable secret password functionality is available for the Cisco 7600 OSR. You must enter the correct password to gain access to privileged-level commands. When you are running from the ROM monitor (rommon>), the enable password can be used, depending on your boot ROM level.

For maximum security, the enable secret and the enable password should be different. If you use the same password for both the enable secret and enable functions during the setup process, the system accepts it but issues a warning indicating that you should enter a different password.

An enable secret password can contain from 1 to 25 uppercase and lowercase alphanumeric characters; an enable password can contain any number of uppercase and lowercase alphanumeric characters.

In either case, you cannot use a number as the first character. Spaces, however, are valid password characters. For example, “two words” is a valid password. Leading spaces are ignored, but trailing spaces are recognized.

Step 6 Enter the virtual terminal password when prompted to do so:

Enter virtual terminal password: bambam

For future use, make a note of this password.

Step 7 In most cases, you will use IP routing as the network layer protocol. If you specify IP, you must also specify an interior routing protocol.

Enter yes (the default) or press Return to configure IP. Do the same to select the Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) as the interior routing protocol.
